Image description:

Manelisi Nene employed observation and feelings to craft a symbolic story in this image. This 2024 photograph, which is based on light and shadows, was taken around Durban Street. Nene made use of light and shadows to allude to both positive and negative life situations.

People were supposed to go through several stages. Depending on how one handles it, darkness is a natural aspect of life. Healey (2016) asserts that while darkness is a natural element of life, it was never incorrect. At night, it serves as a backdrop for the stars. Since it grows darker before the sun is about to rise, darkness might serve as a reminder of light.
